Window cleaning FAQs
Q: How do you clean windows without streaks?
A: For interior windows, we utilize a tried and tested applicator and squeegee method using filtered water and biodegradable window cleaning solution that doesn’t leave hard minerals behind, which makes your windows sparkle, not streak. For exterior windows, we use a telescopic water-fed pole reaching up to five stories high with water that’s purified through our advanced four-stage water purification system to ensure crystal clear and sparkly windows and frames.
Q: Can you wash my windows in the winter?
A: While Richmond Hill winters can be challenging with temperatures dropping well below freezing, we can adapt our cleaning schedule to your needs. For optimal results, we recommend scheduling window cleanings during milder periods between April and November. However, for those mid-winter gatherings when crystal-clear windows are essential, we have specialized cold-weather techniques and solutions to safely clean your windows even during Ontario’s frosty winter months.
Q: How often should I have my windows cleaned in Richmond Hill?
A: For Richmond Hill homes, we typically recommend quarterly cleanings to combat the distinct seasonal challenges of our Ontario climate. Spring cleaning removes winter’s salt spray and grime, summer maintenance addresses pollen buildup, fall service clears falling debris, while an early winter cleaning prepares your windows for the holiday season. However, we’re happy to customize a schedule based on your home’s specific exposure and surroundings.
Q: How much does window cleaning in Richmond Hill cost?
A: The final price of our window cleaning service will vary widely depending on several factors, including: The size of your home How many windows need to be cleaned Whether we’re taking care of both sides of the windows or just the outside If you need any other services from our friendly crew during their visit to your home If you need more info on our pricing, we’re always happy to come and provide you with a free, zero-obligation estimate for our Richmond Hill window cleaning service.
Q: What window cleaning solution do you use?
A: We simply use filtered water with a touch of biodegradable window cleaning solution. The purified water ensures there’s no streaks from minerals, and our biodegradable solution prevents any damage to the surrounding landscape.
Q: How do you handle cleaning windows in newer Richmond Hill developments with modern architectural styles?
A: Our technicians are specifically trained to work with these modern designs, using specialized equipment that reaches tall facades and addresses the unique challenges of cleaning large glass panels. We take extra care with specialty coatings often found on newer energy-efficient windows, ensuring they maintain their protective properties.
Q: Does Richmond Hill’s hard water affect window cleaning results?
A: Absolutely. The mineral content in Richmond Hill’s water can leave stubborn spots and streaks on windows if not properly treated. That’s why our four-stage water purification system is crucial—it removes all minerals before the water touches your glass. This eliminates the possibility of residue and ensures a crystal-clear finish that lasts longer than cleaning with untreated tap water, especially important in older Oak Ridges and Richvale neighbourhoods where mineral buildup can be more pronounced.
